There're tablets set up on each row that tell you about the fish, shrimp, etc. that are for sale. Honestly my favorite aquarium store in the Memphis area by far.

What a great aquarium shop!!! This place is just awesome…read more I am a saltwater reef aquarium enthusiast, but this store made me want a freshwater, planted tank, again in a bad way. I have been contemplating setting up a tank in my office at work. I wanted a clownfish and anemone tank, but planted freshwater is much easier to manage when traveling for work and not being around to take care of it. Small saltwater tanks (under 150 gallons) are not ideal really. The evaporation wreaks havoc on the salinity and trace elements. One gallon of evaporation on a small salty tank will alter salinity big time. Salinity is measured in "Specific Gravity". Specific gravity is the ratio of a substance's density to the density of a reference substance, usually water, and is a unitless quantity used to compare the density of substances. A specific gravity of 1 means the substance has the same density as water, while values greater than 1 indicate it's denser and will sink in water, and values less than 1 mean it's less dense and will float. So what that means really is, as the water evaporates, the salt stays behind and raises the "density" of the water thus putting more pressure on the inhabitants within. Sorry.... Went on a tear there.... now you know though.... You are welcome. The owner of the place is super cool, very helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. Win. Win. Win. He only does fresh water and is an authorized Fluval dealer with all of their lines of aquatic goods, as well as small nano type tanks all the way up to the all in one 80 gallon tank. Nice stuff! Built in Fluval filtration makes it easy to maintain. If you are curious about freshwater aquariums, I believe this is the best place to go. I do dare say that this is by far and away the best fish store in the Shelby County area. It's clean, well kept, organized, and the tanks and fish look fantastic. '25 - 97/111

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they don't seem afraid to help you make compatibility decisions, where a lot of other pet stores will tell you whatever it takes to sell you something. The animals they have are in excellent health, and their habits are always spotless. Whenever I buy fish from PetCo they end up being diseased and often killing the fish I already had within a few days. Tropical Adventure is the only store I trust to sell me fish that are healthy, and won't be bringing illness into my tank. My only gripe, and it's a small one, is they don't have much of a selection. They are a small pet store, you can't expect them to have an inventory the size of a chain store.

No doubt there is more experience in this hobby, than with Richard, than anywhere else. I've been buying corals from him for 20 years. Way back when he sold out of his friend's garage, LOL. He was the owner of MemFish back in the day when it was good. Jerk off bought it from him and ran it into the ground. I actually worked the weekends at his place for a couple years. Practicing my craft, you see. I even had my own show tank at the store. It was badass. Anyway. He's still building his new business and needs all the support you can give. I've been feeding him corals out of my tank for a min now, picking up new ones to grow, and restocking my fish now again as well. I got some bad ass fish there recently. Gem Tang is my highlight. $1500 online and it was only $550 here!!! Holy shit, what a deal!!! Magnificent Foxface was only $200! What!?!? I can't wait to see what else I can find here!

Our Goldendoodle has been groomed by Petco multiple times, however, this specific location we went…read moreto while we were traveling was the epitome of awful. From the get-go, Hailey was rude and unprofessional; she was unsure of how to do his haircut because of minor matting behind his elbows and kept repeating "i don't know, I'll try.". To my understanding, Petco has policies and requirements for groomers and their respective credentials, but it seemed like the team as a whole lacked the fundamentals. After speaking with Hailey over the phone to provide clarification and ask if I could answer any questions, she said no and that I should expect Bruno in about 4 hours. About an hour and a half later, the "previous salon manager" Ashley calls me saying that he is matted all over and that I need to pick him up or else they will shave him as the only solution. In a passive-aggressive and condescending manner, she disregarded any autonomy we have in our dog's style and showed a complete lack of professionalism. Upon picking him up, I spoke with the store manager, Rendy who was kind enough to tell us the truth behind why they refused to work on Bruno. In a professional way, she said that they do not want to upset picky dog owners; every dog owner deserves to be picky if they spend a considerable amount of time maintaining their coat. Rendy admitted that Ashley should not have provided misinformation over the phone falsely claiming that he is matted all over. The salon tech showed my wife how they brush through the coat and the second a tangle stops the brush, they diagnose it as all-around matting and thus refuse service. Although Rendy was kind enough to try justifying the groomer's lack of professionalism, she agreed and stated "It would have been worse if they continued with Bruno." I have had a poor experience with Petco before in which headquarters reached out, once again apologizing for a store's lack of professionalism. I think I am recognizing the trend. I believe if you have a low-maintenance dog with fairly straightforward genetic coat patterns, Petco is actually not a bad idea. However, if you are looking for someone who is educated in more modern genetically cross bred dogs, find an actual professional; quality over quantity!
